Last Notes npub1t76nr4ekvd7r0ryaxetx4cxtvzluu69t796ludgh6fcf6w5a6wqs5h9xhl Clare We've mostly been working on the basics, on our sovereign homestead in Molise, Italy, this month. Clearing around the well has been major - hopefully we'll have it full of water soon too! Life is very challenging this first winter on the land, without mod cons, comfort, even basics.... but we'd rather be here creating the lifework/ new world, than back with the crazies and the inverts! **Hallelujah for the simple things and the freedom of being alive & conscious!!** https://blossom.primal.net/6796cd8fcdda7370cf7eb71332016b87d4ac36162770dd0abcd5420e2b2b7f1d.jpg npub1t76nr4ekvd7r0ryaxetx4cxtvzluu69t796ludgh6fcf6w5a6wqs5h9xhl Clare They did, Brian!

I noticed a lot around me that did not seem True or Authentic. I saw early on that most folks were pretty mad - a view that endures today, unfortunately. I believe that much of my creativity welled up from being left alone (now classified as 'neglect') to learn actively, directly from immersion in Nature and Natural Law. I built shelters, sewed clothing, wrote stories and songs, set up improvised theatres, shops, businesses - then slowly grounded myself in my early teens, in an intensive practise of drawing and painting. I created a unique and inimitable visual language, using the primal (alchemical) practise of intuitive Art to heal, grow spiritually, unlock deeply embodied wisdom and to radiate positive influence in the micro and macro worlds." https://www.patreon.com/posts/149239616 https://blossom.primal.net/aa231025587f80b0f8f0a0f72e9659fda6cbcb37a27722a54b82d7834b0cd771.webp npub1t76nr4ekvd7r0ryaxetx4cxtvzluu69t796ludgh6fcf6w5a6wqs5h9xhl Clare That is very generous of you, Furious Honey Badger!

But it is ours. And this is the most important thing for us. Why? Because anything else is bound in othersโ energies, contractions, vision โ and the wider vision of the mainstream. Whereas being on our own land in our own building โ no matter what โ is a vastly easier and more energising space to be in. Though many of us have not noticed, mainstream humanity is on a very rapid downwards spiral: the quality of life, value of benefits and privileges, the very health of nations, the mental health especially, is all descending. It is more noticable every day, to folks like us - who avoid cities in general and groups of humans in particular โ that โconventionalโ life is becoming more restrictive, toxic, and degraded/ degrading."

"Payments might feel lighter, easier, less consequential, now that things are moving into the digital realm, but there is the distinct air , to me, that humanity is now free-falling โ tumbling into a bottomless abyss of empty darkness, the further we move away from a grounded, balanced, wholesomeness in our living and in our transacting. Our collective arrogance seems immeasurable: our belief in there being infinite supplies of everything, available at any time of the day, at the click of a pixelated button, ad infinitum, forever and ever... Does it really feel like freedom, to be able to click buttons like this, and then to accept a package at the door? Would it not feel betterto pluck a ripe fruit, put it into a homemade basket (rather than a metal fabricated one that is borrowed just for the time spent perambulating the store), jar it up for later. Look at the jar later on oneโs crammed larder shelves, bursting with bright condiments and nutrition? Or to visit a local producer of such riches (minus the strip lighting, the loud beeping, the tinned music and advertising whacking us on the ears), to dine with them in the sacred natural light, communing with truly holy food and presenceโฆ.?"

We've had our land for 3 months now, and have been gifted heavily with walnuts, figs, pomegranates, nettles, burdock, wild chard, mint, wild onions, firewood, natural water, fresh air.... and now we begin the epic work of rejuvinating our olive groves. When we bought the land, we were told that there were 'una quarantina' of trees - around 40 of them. And they were hard to count! We kept finding another one and another one, tucked in the deep undergrowth, or squished below trees... When I took it upon myself to methodically tot up the numbers, we were rather pleasantly amazed to discover that in fact there are at least 80 ๐ค Like many plots in this region of Italy, they've been abandoned over the past 20 or so years, as elders have passed on, and the next generation has become elder, with no-one in the family willing to come back to the land and work it properly. Folks like us are filling this niche. But we are working the land differently. Slowly. Without machines. In tune with our learning; quiet, humble mastery under Natural Law. Today was the first time I've climbed into the limbs and listened, cut, plucked, removed (the vast majority!) inedible fruits, and begun the long relationship that we are committed to here. Many long cool days ahead, which we cannot wait to enjoy on our land, sacred tweaking and doing our very best to bring back the natural harmony, abundance, beauty and divinity of this piece of our earthly heaven. ๐ชท๐๐ณ Clare. https://blossom.primal.net/d8bf44e457402edcedf631ddae253d083b9099bbc9447135921be476ec06e4d2.jpg npub1t76nr4ekvd7r0ryaxetx4cxtvzluu69t796ludgh6fcf6w5a6wqs5h9xhl Clare Wonderfully rich turning colours, with mist moving through the valleys, after our first rains in a few weeks.

I first sat down with a computer in the mid 1980s, a surprise blessing at the time, before a screen and keyboard were officially introduced to our Scottish island education systems. The population of the village and, by association, the school, were so low that we were all in one classroom at that point, and having had various (possibly too many) changes of teachers over previous years, we had developed a certain oppositional stance to our learning guardians. We had become, all ten of us, rather unruly. So the husband of our head-teacher (and sole educator) was called in, to try and convince us to be reasonable. He was most charismatic, and for myself as one of the older pupils, isolated at the heady heights of the primary school hierarchy โ amongst two or three other children โ I personally was desperate for some actual new information. Iโd exhausted the curriculum in my 6th year (out of 7), my self-education stamina was petering out, and I was most keen to have more mental enrichment. The teacherโs husband was a treasure-trove of the new, and a fabulous world of data, programming, intelligent games and autonomy opened up for me. It blasted open the probabilities for my future, in contrast to the typical options that had been illustrated to that date for me, in our village with a couple of shops, a barely-functioning pub, and a maximum of 6 weeks of summer busy-ness. Three decades later, having missed out on even the newly-introduced computers at the high school through lack of capable teachers to instruct us on them, and having lived relatively barefoot and hand-to-mouth in various countries and culturesโฆ. The internet began to encroach on my attention, and it seemed time, around 2007, when some minor inheritance, plus the fact of living in a city for the first time since art school, converged into the possibility of my being exposed to others who had websites, emails, and used computers to do stuff. I was already **very bored** with the very concept of working in the conventional sense, and was somehow (I will never truly comprehend how I did so) managing to subsist through a bizarre juggling of pittance, art prizes, governmental subsidy, living in sunnier climes and working in fields, plus the very occasional sale of a painting. Two months doing a โproper jobโ in a national art gallery in England, and a year or so running night classes for elderly drawing students, and Iโd had it. This didnโt stop me working my arse off for the next two decades, attempting to craft my own business, branding and even autonomous existence โ a farcical blend of, albeit edgy, mainstream social media coupled with endless reinventions of colourful, experimental pop-up events, social entrepreneurship, and at least *some* growing notoriety for my radical authenticity. The internet, almost as soon as I โenteredโ it, was something of a double-edged sword and a false friend. The attention and the perceived โpowerโ that it brought me and my art, were short-lived, and did not appear to be putting down roots. This did not deter me, because of course Iโd been convinced by cult-ure that art-ists were *supposed* to struggleโฆ. until they โmade itโ: that tantalisingly alluring fairy tale of material success for all. Several bouts of burn-out later, having poured my vital force into the final-straw visionary project for transforming community-landscape-collective-wealth, AND THEN having had my meagre income decimated by the lockdown and social exclusion of the plandemic period; my stoicism had me reach out beyond the edge, to more alternative and eventually, logically, to more truly-decentralised projects. In early 2019 I joined the Steemit blockchain, which forked into the Hive.blog โ and Iโve enjoyed almost 7 years earning sufficient amounts of crypto to invest in a pot of gold (bitcoin, that is) that spills over here and there, allowing me to do (much!) more than barely-getting-by. More importantly, the weight on my shoulders of deep disconnect from the collective conscious, friends and family, society, and a Living Ecosystem of technology and communications, was somewhat eased off. A steep recent learning-curve with Nostr however, liberates my senses: it instills in my consciousness the optimism that we are collectively capable of reinventing that which has been created with nefarious intentions, to demean and de-evolve the expansion of our direction as a whole. The Correction of the Internet is a lofty goal, and one that I am behind for sure, as recent years I had begun to imagine a life without it altogether, itโs usefulness increasingly moving down the spectrum from efficient, empowering, enlightening tool to liberate people โ to chocolate teapot status. Absurd search engine results to simple requests, laughable propaganda at every turn, incessant publicity even from those who claim to be the solution, bots and trolls, mind-numbing GIFs and forwarded private messages: detritus, detritus, detritus. Finding my twinflame and moving to the wild(er) countryside of Molise, Italy, our cocreative intolerance of โthe systemโ came full-circle, and we opted out of the last of paperwork, lowered our use of bank accounts to emergency-back-up-only, and disconnected from mains water and electricity - beginning our healing, BTC-empowered journey back to Living On The Land. Two minds, brought together in symbiosis, can achieve freedom so much more quickly than one alone can: our weaknesses which held us back, alone, have been stretched out into new energetic muscles. We are protected and nourished multiple-fold, in relation to how we could take care of ourselves before. Our pooled riches and resources โ if meagre when we were solo โ are not accumulatedly many times more abundant. And our decisions about direction in life, our confidence and courage in making big decisions, are profoundly more potent. Our relationship with tech and communications similarly shifted. We found Nostr, started researching its potential, and then very recently joined up, having a rejuvenated sense of the probability that we might even find a proper community online to grow and learn with: to actually climb collectively out of this deep, dark hole that was dug for us all. It is exciting indeed to find such a brave band of Real Folk, striving to resolve such an epic problem as we have been entangled with: the sad human migration away from Real Life, from Natural Law, and from the state of divine harmony and co-creative surthrival that we were conceived into โ that we have Natural Sovereign Reign of. It has not been easy to carve out initially, a safe place to live, to have real success and respect and visibility in, and a place to even speak the Truth. Hereโs to another rising Cosmic Wave of human effort that will succeed in lifting us out of the darkness and confusion and into the light, towards the sun. It is a great joy to be presented with the collective efforts of bright minds and enthusiastic hands, who similarly to us, know their worth and their Rights. Letโs see where we can go from here. Looking forward very much to knowing more of the workings of Nostr, and of the people interwoven through it.
